while all of us know that things have not been good in many of our
Maryland communities, we know, too, that in general they are not so
bad as they have been elsewhere in the nation. This new plant will
surely do its share in increasing employment in the Cambridge area.

I feel that this move to Maryland, by one of the members of a select
"Who's Who" of American industry—the Dorsett Marine Division of the
Textron Corporation—is an augury of more good things to come for
Dorchester County and all of Maryland.

This fine firm is especially welcome in a State that has long respected
and appreciated quality in all things.

To the officials of Textron, to the staff of Dorsett Marine, I say
"Welcome to Maryland!" We are deeply pleased to have you come. We
hope your stay will be long and profitable and that you will find Mary-
land a good place in which to live and work.

This Maryland flag which has been flown over the State House in
Annapolis is a symbol of our hearty welcome to you and of our wish for
your successful future in Maryland.

REMARKS, DEDICATION OF
CARLING BREWING COMPANY, BALTIMORE

June 16, 1961

I know that I voice the sentiment of all Marylanders when I say that,
as Governor, I am delighted to welcome the Carling Brewing Company
to our prosperous and growing industrial family. I recall that I was here
a little more than a year and a half ago to break ground on this site, and
it is most gratifying to observe the work that has been done since that
time in the erection of this magnificent industrial plant....

This handsome and modern brewing plant, representing an invest-
ment of $16 million, stands as a symbol of the confidence the Carling
Brewing Company has in the State of Maryland and its future. Mary-
land takes great pride—and justifiable pride, I think—in the wealth and
diversification of its industry. The industrial output of this Baltimore
metropolitan area alone includes steel, shipbuilding, aircraft and auto-
motive manufacture and assembly, transportation equipment, chemicals,
copper, aluminum, wearing apparel, electronics, electrical equipment,
food processing and a list of products too numerous to list here. Indus-
try, with the water, rail, highway and air transportation which sustains
it, is the very life-blood of our economy.
